Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • ¼-½ teaspoon sea salt
  • teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoon parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 cup spaghetti sauce (optional, link)

Instructions

  • Slice the ends off of the spaghetti squash using a sharp knife. Stand the spaghetti squash on one of the flat ends and carefully slice down the middle. Use a large spoon to scoop out the seeds.
  • Place the squash cut side up and brush each half with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Place the squash in the air fryer and close the lid. Set the temperature to 350° F and set the timer for 20 minutes.
  • Serve the air fried spaghetti squash with spaghetti sauce For a vegetarian option, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, and fluff, and serve!

Notes

  • Check for doneness by pricking the flesh with a fork. If there is no resistance and the fork can easily pierce the flesh, then it's ready.
  • Don't toss out the seeds, roast them instead. Check out my spicy pumpkin seeds post for some seasoning ideas!
